One of the Nuggets’ most important building blocks of the future and reasons behind the post-Anthony success is point guard Ty Lawson who will enter next season on the last year of his rookie contract. But in an age where free agent drama permeates the landscape there appears to be little mystery surrounding Lawson’s future with the franchise. The team has made it clear they’re including Lawson in their long term plans and he’s looking forward to signing an extension as soon as possible. “We’ve already been negotiating and talking about it,” Lawson told HOOPSWORLD about the status of contract talks at Las Vegas Summer League. “So my agent and the team will probably come to an agreement real soon.” HoopsWorld

Speaking at his annual basketball camp at Rock Creek High School, Lawson said Friday he thinks something will be done "in the next month or two." "It's definitely going to get done," Lawson said. "I know I want to be here. I know they want me here. I think something is going to be done soon." Denver Post

Asked about possibly getting a contract extension from the Nuggets this summer, Lawson told The Denver Post: "It's definitely a goal. I want to be here long term. I'm pretty sure my agent and Masai (Ujiri, the Nuggets' executive vice president of basketball operations) will talk this summer." Denver Post

With 15 seconds left, down 1 to the Nuggets, the Cavaliers inbounded from their own basket, eschewing advancing the ball to half-court in favor of getting Kyrie Irving at full-speed going to the rim. The Nuggets essentially only needed to get in front of him as he was the Cavs' whole offense down the stretch. Instead... Ty Lawson would miss a driving layup and the Cavaliers hang on to win, 100-99. CBSSports.com

We saw a lot of frustrated tweets from you while you were over there and I remember reading about one game where you went scoreless in only six minutes. Looking back, are you still glad you went instead of just staying in the States to work on your game? Ty Lawson: If I had to do it all over again, I would go. From a basketball standpoint and just life, I got to experience some things that a normal 23-year-old doesn't get to experience. ESPN.com

Lawson sprinted out of the gate, hitting eight of his first nine shots on the way to a game-high 27 points for the Nuggets, who started this lockout- shortened season with a stylish 115-93 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night at the American Airlines Center. "It was pretty impressive the way we went about what we had to do," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "We knew we had a team that played (Sunday), and the pace of the game has always been our advantage against Dallas." Denver Post

So Ty Lawson played pro ball in Lithuania this fall. After one game, he walked into the locker room by the showers. “I was like, ‘What’s that smell?’ ” Lawson recalled. He then spotted his teammate, Robertas Javtokas, standing under the shower … smoking a cigarette. “I look over, he’s puffing and says, ‘Oh, what’s up Ty?’ ” Lawson said with a laugh. Denver Post

“I remember one game, I threw him a full-court pass,” Lawson said. “He was by himself and he just drops it. So we go back to the bench – I’m mad. Dead-serious mad. And he says: ‘I must have put too much butter on my bread this morning.’ And that turned my whole mood around. We were down 10 in the fourth quarter and I just started laughing.” Denver Post
